XDA2s crashed - frist time! - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi,
Have had my XDA2s for some months now and have been slowly updatnig ROMS and RADIOS as and when. Today it crashed at the start of an active-sync over USB. Basically the screen went black and you could not soft-reset it. In the end I had to do a hard-reset (power + reset) and re-install all my bits and pieces.
Anyone else had this?

Similar but I cannot reboot
Similar thing happened to me but I cannot hard reboot, not sure what to do now.
Anyone any ideas! Have been loading ROMS no problem as you mentioned but for some reason the latest SIN 2 merged ROM I have had issues with. It has been just been going to black screen when unpacking the ext rom sends the device go black, happened 3 times but could do the hard reset thing, this last time no go. Thought it may have been the battery but I have just put in someone elses machine & fine.
If I connect power to the device I just get a red light where the orange or green power light normally is.
At the moment is running SIN2's latest merged ROM

TyTN locked up HARD today

Running new LVSW version of WM6. Working smooth as glass for 3 days now and this morning I turned on the phone, checked my email, adjusted call volume and the thing locked up HARD. I tried everything but nothing worked so I just pressed the reset button on the bottom. It rebooted but hung on the boot splash after displaying the red version numbers on the bottom. After a minute or so the green wireless light began to flash so I thought it was just slow booting, i left it like this for 15 min and it never proceeded to finish booting so I pressed reset again. Same result, stuck in boot splash forever. Since it was just going to sit and run down the power I unseated the battery to turn it off (the power button wouldnt do a thing.) Finally I get to work, I figure I'll put it in bootloader and hopefully just reflash it. As soon as I plug it into the USB cable and boot it up, it came up fine. Anyone have ANY idea what the heck is going on? Thinking now of trying the new WM Black edition v1.2 but with the recent strangeness of the current rom I'm wondering if I'll wind up bricking it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Was your battery fully charged?
yep
Yes, 100%, had just taken it off charge about an hour before....
It has happened to me twice
The first time that I couldn't igure out what to do I simply Hard reset the device
The second and last time that happened to me (2 days ago)
after 3 consecutive soft reboots the thing came back to normal operating status..
I suspect that this has to do with ROM
Anyways I sure hope this is fixed with the new release...
Which I may flash later on today...

white screen non stop

hello to all,
I've searched many white screen problem threads, but didn't find any similar.
i am sorry if I missed one.
I am asking you for help.
I have spv m3100(hermes 100)
I bought it used and it had instaled htc europe wm6 rom. after few days I decided to flash black x rc.
before i did this, I made super cid with RUU_HERM_Unlock_v3a.exe and than also flash hard spl v7. everything was fine until few days ago when butons stop working. and at the end the green led was blinking all the time and green and red phone light was on all the time as well (also if phone was in flight mode).
I decided to flash official rom and I checked my bootloader it was showing ipl 1.04 and hard spl 2.10.
I flashed WWE 3.54.255.3 with radio 1.48.00.10 and everything went just fine at the end was written congratulation....
it costumized and make one or two soft reset and than I start to instal my favorite programs (few spb, smartmovie, dictionary...).
I do not remember why but after I set regional settings I did not soft reset with stylus but I put out battery when phone was stil on.
after that screen is white all the time. I made many soft resets, hard resets, try to enter bootloader but screen is all the time white.
when i turn it on and it is white I connect it to computer and it connects normal and i can also explore my files, but screen is all the time white.
I left it more than 20min without battery and try again but is stil the same.
after that I keep battery out of phone and leave it sop over the night. in the morning was stil the same.
i do not know what to do.
please help.
thank you and best regards

since you mention a problem with the buttons, it *could* be hardware related. There is a thread up here where those problems (connections usually) are explained.
would you be so kind and tell me which thread you meant.
it seemed nothing wrong is with my phone only colors are missing (everything is white). i think also touchscreen is working. if I turn it off with power button (holding for few seconds), it beeps and you get message if you realy want to turn it off. because I know exactly where yes button is, the phone goes off.
I apreciate every help I can get.
thanks
I had a white screen issue .. do this in this specific order
1) make sure you have olipro latest version (use the search)
if problem persists
2) Use an WM5 rom and see if the white screen is happening
if problem perisists
3) Replace the battery (cheapest option)
if problem perisists
4) Its a hardware fault and you will have to send it off to get fixed or replace the unit .. sorry
alive again
I solved the problem.

White screen of death

Hello everybody,
I seem to have a major problem with my XDA Orbit: Not only it shuts down with no apparent reason so that I have to reset it, but it shows sometimes the dreaded "white screen of death" - from now on "WHISOD". The screen all of the sudden slowly goes white and sometimes shows dark vertical bands. After that - if I am lucky - I can reset the device, however a couple of times I already had to hard reset end even reflash it.
I have already checked software and plugin problems and would rather say that it seems to be a hardware problem. Any ideas out there. They would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Smack
i had the same problem and as at now my phone is dead becuase i did not flash it with the original rom. look for the rom it came with and flash it to the phone ,like how u first got the phone or u will loos ur phone very soon
I am not at all sure if it has to do with the ROM. I have tried different ROMs to check the error but it appeared with all of them. However the next time I will try again with the latest official ROM.
Thanks for the comment and your help. BTW Did you send your Orbit in for repair?

Hi, do you use the uspl before every new rom install? Try it.
I have the same problem, my htc3300 is almost dead I think. No way I can even turn it on, allways end in the windows screen, and it was because I didn`t use the uspl before last rom install.
Give it a try, and let us know.
See ya.
Thanks. No flashing problem. I have flashed a couple of devices (always unlocking them before ;-) )and have had no problems whatsoever.
The problem I mentioned is not connected to any earlier flashing. The device works a couple of hours perfectly. However suddenly it starts to behave like crazy.
Now to your problem: If you can get into boot loader modus you will most probably be able to unlock your item. Search for uspl and download it. Then get into boot loader mode (press voice recorder button and power button while resetting the device) and you will get a three colored screen. Then connect the USB cable. You will see "usb" in small fonts on the screen of the device. Now you can run uspl. With a little luck the device starts again. However you can flash it again with a fresh ROM the same way (after unlocking it). This may (!) work.

Hello,
I have the same problem, I already hard reset end even reflash my p3300 many times with different ROM.
I even tried running it for some time with and without the micro SD, ending with the same result: the screen of death.
Any ideas , tips, anyone ?
Thanks,
Roundi
Ok, I tried the following: Just take the battery out for six or seven hours and insert it again. The device seems to run smoother. Will keep you posted. Tell me if it works out for you.
Regards,
Smack
Ok, just removed the battery, I will leave till tomorrow morning.
I will keep you updated.
Thanks,
Roundi.
I have same problem here - though mine is the second phone and the fifth motherboard I've had. HTC just don't seem to able to fix it. I'm now trying to get a refund.
Hi, Jem.
Yes that's something I have thought about too. Did you you use the original ROM? However right now the system seems to be more stable. I have had only one blank screen after removing the battery (and one shut down).
Regards,
Smack
I have just put in the battery and switched on the phone after almost 24h.
So far so good.... I will try to use it for a while and will let you know.

Roundi
Had the same problem again, when using Mortplayer. I have Mortplayer installed on the SD card. Could it be that the problems arise, when there is heavy usage of the SD Card?
Any ideas are welcome.

Again it went SOD shortly after turning it on. I didn't launch any applications.
I am stuck here.....

HX2790 Dead Help

Hi,
first this is a great forum even the roms are great.
I am coming to you with a big Problem and i don´t know what to do anymore.
As me was given back my ipaq it was completly empty. When i put it on the cradle it began to start. After 2 seconds booting the orange light flashed one time (sign for loading) and after this the screens shuts off and the hp loo is like burned into the screen.
I had this before when i had an error bei updating my rom.
So i thought to hard reset or clean reset or to put it into preboot mode to update the rom. But nothing works. He is not taking any kind of reset.
So i thought i have to charge the battery. But didn´t help it even did´t get warm after one night charging. But when i am trying a reset, after some tries puting it on the cradle back, he tries to boot but the same happens. I have win 6.0 installed.
Does anybody has an idea? I need it on Friday for my holidays, if not i don´t have any navigation system and i am traveling by caravan over 5000km, it would be hard without.
I am counting on you guys, thnx a lot for helping
As far as I know - there is nothing You can do.
There is a problem with motherboard. And it seems that this problem appears just after a drop. Some inner component become loose.
I do have a one hx2490b motherboard with the same problem - it starts to load and then turns itself off. Trying to do a reset does not work as well there is no bootloader.

P605 in need of some help.

Hi, hoping someone can help.
Having a major problem with my P605 (Hong Kong version), It just will not start up anymore.
Current State:
At the moment, with just the power button, it shows the samsung galaxy note 2014 logo. Then a few seconds later the startup sound will play. Then a few seconds later the samsung boot animation plays. Then once the animation stops and just displays the samsung logo, nothing else. It stays on that, and can stay on it for hours.
Note: The Samsung boot animation has a very pink hue to it, like the cyan and yellow are no longer there. More on that later.
With the Power + Home + Vol Up it says recovery mode is starting, then resets and boots as above.
With the Power + Home + Vol Down it goes into download mode no problem.
Background (Some of it may or may not be relevant, just putting it on here in case it is):
Up until a couple of weeks ago it was stock, but rooted JB (IIRC), then it was accidentally dropped (not by me). It is in a Trident Krakhen case, but that did not stop damage being done, the damage being the backlight stopped working. I followed a Youtube guide and removed/reinserted the ribbon. Put it back together and switched it on, and worked, sorted!
Now I thought as the seal of freshness has been popped, I may as well upgrade it to Lollipop so I can play Pokemon Go. As Lollipop has not been released for HK p605's I used the Irish (I think) firmware. Upgraded using Odin, no problem. So then I wanted root access, so I used the method described on XDA to root Lollipop using "CF-Auto-Root-lt03lte-lt03ltexx-smp605.zip". Again, flashed with Odin, no problem. But the root didn't take, a few programs randomly lost root access, others would not ask for access and just say the tablet was not rooted, etc. I reflashed the file at least 6 times to try and get it to take. Eventually it did.
Forward to the next day, I go to unlock my tablet and the screen has gone all pink, same as above, like Cyan and Yelow have gone. And a black shadow is over the left half of the screen. I restarted the tablet, colours came back, yay. All fine up until yesterday, the pink and shadow were back again. This was late at night while I was in bed, so not near the computer. I restarted the tablet. This time the pink stayed. OK, so I thought I will wipe the tablet back to factory and see if that helps (not done a wipe or anything else up until this point) so I try to go into recovery mode. It showed the logo and the little blue recovery text, then black screen, then normal boot logo and back into the OS. Tried a few times to get into recovery mode, but just kept resetting back to OS. So I told ROM toolbox to force a recovery restart, big mistake! It went into recovery boot loop. Just Galaxy Note 2014 entering recovery" then blank, repeat. No sound, nothing. I think that perhaps if I can turn it off, it may reset the whole thing, I put the tablet into download mode, then go to sleep. In the morning, the battery is dead. Great! Plug it in, instantly recovery boot loop. Fudge! From this point I don't know the battery level of the tablet, so that MAY be causing issues. I plug it into the PC to flash with Odin. Flashed stock lollipop, restarted, flashed stock bootloader, flashed CF auto root. Multiple times in each. Nothing seems to bring it out. The closest I got to something was the tablet telling me recovery was screwed and I needed to use Kies recovery. I left it plugged in for a few hours to try and build up some battery power, the PC does not provide enough power to charge, it makes the screen flicker rapidly when the battery is empty, but all the time while charging it is boot looping and the screen is on full brightness so I don't know how much I gained.
Finally flashed stock KK, and now it just hangs on the Samsung animation logo as above.
Is there anything I can do?
Does the pink hue and black shadow mean hardware is affected? The colours seem fine in download mode.
If anyone could help that would be great as I am scratching my head here.
EDIT 1: OK, I took the casing off, found that the little push on connector next to the usb connector had pried itself loose, I reattached it, and removed/reinserted the screen ribbon cable. All while the tablet was powered on (my old electronics teacher would have had a fit!). Restarted, the pink tinge has gone and the boot animation came up at the same time as the audio. Good signs. But still froze on the 'glow' effect. Tried recovery and YES it went into recovery, although the little android fell over with an exclamation mark over him. But still, progress. So now I am reflashing stock, will see how it goes.
